Soon after former FBI director James B. Comey testified that President Trump told him that he hoped the FBI would drop its investigation of former national security adviser Michael Flynn, the president's personal lawyer flatly denied that accusation and said Trump never, in form or substance, directed or suggested that Mr. Comey stop investigating anyone.

But Donald Trump Jr. the president's eldest son seemed to confirmComey's version of events in a Saturday interview on Fox News as he tried to emphasizethefact that his father did not directly order Comey to stop investigating Flynn.

When hetells you to do something, guess what? There's no ambiguity in it, there's no, 'Hey, I'm hoping,'" Trump Jr. said. You and I are friends: 'Hey, I hope this happens, but you've got to do your job.' That's what he told Comey. And for this guy, asa politician, to then go back and write a memo: 'Oh, I felt threatened.' He felt so threatened but he didn't do anything.

Trump Jr. also saidthat Comey's testimony vindicated the president and that everything in it was basically ridiculous.

I think he's proven himself to be a liar in all of this. I think he's proven himself to be a dishonest man of bad character, Trump Jr. said.

His comment came during an interview with Jeanine Pirro, a former New York district attorney and judge who isa longtime friend of the Trump family. Pirro has longbeena go-to interviewer for the president and his allies when they need a sympathetic cable news hostwho will enthusiastically agree with themandnot askany difficult questions. (That same day, Pirro attended a baby showerin New York for Lara Trump, who is married to Eric Trump.) After the interview aired late Saturday night, Pirro tweeted: Such a great interview! Trump Jr. agreed and tweeted:Good times. Thanks Judge.
